2016 CFL regular season thread

Stamps (10-1-1) have already clinched a playoff spot.

If I'm not mistaken, this weekend was the first CFL weekend where all the home teams won their games.

Good add at receiver by the Leos:

Lions sign Sinkfield after NFL stint

 

[dash]

Also, Jacques Chapdelaine is the new head coach of the Als, Popp is still GM.

Interesting move by Montreal today. Got to think some big changes are coming there this winter.

Bro Jake is placing a C note on the Lions winning the Grey Cup, David Pratt gets the field.

First td of the game, in q1... What is the rationale for a 2pt conversion?
Just to see if you can demoralize the home side?

And whaddya know.... Down by a single point with 4m left in the game.
That PAT seems important now.



Oh, not so much anymore. Interception gives the ball right back to the Eskimos
BC not making this easy on themselves

Still important - A FG would have tied it, now they need a major in the final 35 seconds.

Manny had a shot, but the Hail Mary is picked off in the endzone. Eskimos win.

Cesspool said 2 point convert stats r still this high this season

CFL's new convert rules kick excitement up a notch | Toronto Star

The real question should be ... How did they not score on the 2 point convert there

And lets face it leones a punter first (prob should be a sunday guy)

Wally doesnt 100% trust him. Hell, he was looking at brining in another kicker 3 weeks ago

Geez, a thrilling last second win at McMahon Stadium yesterday doesn't even register with this sad news. Guy was only 23 years old.

Stampeders mourn death of Mylan Hicks - Calgary Stampeders

 

[Judge Fudge]

Sorry to destroy people morning

From tsn.ca

DB Mylan Hicks died in a nightclub shooting

He was 23

 

[dash]

I've been to the nightclub where the shooting happened many times, but haven't been there in over 20 years. Worst thing I've ever seen happen there was a fight in the parking lot.

Stamps GM John Hufnagel to hold a press conference at 11 AM Pacific time. It's been a tough patch for the Stamps in the past while with the passing of Normie Kwong a couple of weeks ago and this senseless act of violence early this morning.

Sad. RIP

Second degree murder charges laid in the killing of Mylan Hicks:

CALGARY — Police have charged a 19-year-old Calgary man with second-degree murder following the shooting death of a Calgary Stampeders player.

Police say Mylan Hicks, who was 23, was shot outside a nightclub following an altercation early Sunday morning.

Nelson Tony Lugela, who is 19, is charged with second-degree murder.

He is scheduled to appear in court Friday morning.

Police say an autopsy is scheduled for today.

They say three suspects were initially taken into custody but two have been released without charges.

Kent Austin deserves a fine (maybe even a one game suspension), it was a terrible call, but a coach can't be making contact with an official.
